Kitchen Layouts

The layout of a kitchen – and not its style or color – determines the ease with which you can move in it, cook, enjoy meals and socialize. The Kitchen Layout, in its most basic state, underlines the placement of various furniture, appliances and accessories.

Designing a kitchen is always the first step to creating a Modular Kitchen you’ve always wanted. It is about translating your thoughts into a tangible design, deciding its look and maximizing the utilization of space. Deciding the Kitchen Layout plan is the most important step in this process. If you are building a new home, or adding to it, you have the freedom to choose the layout of your choice that works best for you and your family, but if you’re re-doing an existing one, the structure of the home will limit your options.

1. STRAIGHT KITCHEN
